That's pretty awesome.
BTW--if you quit in MA/RI you don't get unemployment. Odd that you can get it in TX like that.
PM sent, conquest. Thanks!

Its weird in TX. In PA, unemployment is a state benefit. Here in TX, the employer has to pay for it.
I don't understand that... if your business is struggling and you have to downsize, what's the point of downsizing if you still have to pay the salaries of the people you laid off????
My claim is pretty weak other than my reasons for quitting. From what I understand, I have to work for that employer for 6 months to get benefits and (although I've been with the company for almost a year) this owner just bought the business 5 months ago.
Its all on a kinda sliding scale. Its more like an individual case-by-case thing. For instance if you quit because your boss raped you, you'll get it. If you are fired for stealing money, you won't. Everything else is a gray area.
In MD the employer has to pay into the State fund. If you quit, you don't get it. You need to work for better people, it seems like you are constantly having issues with them....
Curtis, you have mail sir.
How'd it go sir?
Yes, we're awaiting a new thread titled: "Got a new job..."
In many states, quitting for a good reason (like having stuff thrown at you) will still get you unemployment. Quitting because you don't like the job, not so much. Or quitting to avoid being fired, etc.

Yea I think he had a good reason.
